dh decided I needed to get some XMAS feeling so out we went...  my first time in  11 days.... (other than to the doctor),,, anyway,,, so I shopped fast and furious and got the present I had in mind for ds (new comforter, pillows and mattress cover and a soft blanket to cuddle in),, well he HAS everything else, but really really needed this and am sure he will not go out and buy himself this stuff anytime soon,,, also found a turkey,, not a huge one hmmm  about 14 lbs....  fresh  and also found celery stalks so can make a much better stuffing.  Will get back to resting on Monday...  mabe bake the cookie dough I made the other day.  I'm feeling a bit better thanks to the now second round of antibiotics I am on (4 more days of it) ,, but have to be careful,, still coughing and hot and cold but a bit less tired and can sleep a bit a night so that is a plus being very restorative.

thanks Hilary,, I don't think by american standards that's a big turkey by any means (let's see it's 6.5 Kgs) and is a nice size,,, I'm not preparing too many things,, just what the 3 of eat like to eat,, turkey, chestnut dressing, cranberry sauce, mashed pots & gravy, jello mold (with grapes, walnuts and celery) and a pumpkin pie for dessert.

Good for you sweetie, sounds like a wonderful warm and cozy evening. Actually today I didn't go to work with my hubby as he insisted I stay home on my birthday. It is not very busy and he felt that he could work on his own and so I took his advise, slept in, going to prepare a nice supper, though when I told him that he laughed, as he said why would this supper be any different from the other nights, as I always make a nice supper. Isn't he a doll? He is my love of my life, and this morning I got up to a gorgeous card that he left for me, and as always I was very touched, because like me, I could spend a long time searching for the perfect card.

Anyways, Suzan you take care of yourself please. You are a very special women and I am so glad that we had the opportunity to meet here in the Sand Box.

((((((hugs to you)))))))))))) and maybe I will just send over some nice hot chicken soup as that is probably the best medicine, like my late mom used to say. :)

I'm glad you were feeling up to going outside. And that it was nice enough out that you could go outside.


I went out yesterday, too, but there was no wandering. The wind chill was 30 below zero, so there was running and gasping and wishing I'd worn a hat!
